You asked:

Solve the equation \(\frac{3 x}{4} - \frac{7}{4} = 5 x + 12\) for the variable \(x\).

MathBot Answer:

The solution is: \[x = - \frac{55}{17} = -3.\overline{2352941176470588}\]


\[\begin{aligned}\frac{3 x}{4} - \frac{7}{4} &= 5 x + 12\\- \frac{17 x}{4} &= \frac{55}{4}\\x &= - \frac{55}{17}\end{aligned}\]
